Ashton Kutcher can suck it.

Great moments in college prankery:


At last week's Yale/Harvard football game, Yale managed a coup. Just go ahead and click on that link and then get back to me.

Okay. So they stole that idea from this one, which is #1 on this top 10 list of college pranks. My personal favorite has got to be the theft by the Harvard Lampoon staff of Massachusetts' Sacred Cod. The story is simple genius:
They knew that the main obstacle between them and the successful completion of their task was not the Boston police, but rather a source closer to home: the Harvard Crimson (Harvard's daily newspaper). The staff of the Crimson and the Lampoon had long been fierce rivals, never missing an opportunity to take each other down a notch. The Lampoon knew that if given the chance, the Crimson would do everything in its power to sabotage the Lampoon's plans. Therefore, the Crimson could be allowed to have no inkling of what was to happen. A diversion was in order to distract its attention.

On Wednesday April 26, 1933 editors from the Lampoon raided the offices of the Crimson and kidnapped J.M. Boyd, a Crimson staff member, dragging him away to a secret location off campus. This infuriated the other Crimson staffers, who promptly focused all their attention on finding Boyd.
The best prank I can remember from college is probably moving a friend's room's furnishings (everything that wasn't bolted down) into place in a common area--everything was placed exactly as it was in his room, only now it was in the hallway. Not exactly CALTECH material, I know.

These guys, who are responsible for the Chekov book-signing prank (thanks for the link, untoward among others), are awesome. I would like to ride the subway without pants on and give away fake mixed drinks.

Punk 2: You’ve got to protect people from the crazy people. What do you do?
Lovejoy: I’m a priest of Scientology.

(awkward pause)

Punk 1: Well, I like to intervene by throwing rocks at old people.

The best, though, is this thoroughly-bizarre scene, which is absolute genius.
